Writer later can't remember which characters she wrote for. Sad. I used to write for a fantasy baseball site. I still remember which pitchers I covered in 2010. Ok, but to be fair: you don't have to remember on camera in a livestream for your first(ish) time, playing a class you haven't played while knowing this will affect the company you work for. Some people aren't good when put on the spot. Goes something like this: "oh god this is an important question but i know this... i got this... omgwhyaminotremembering !VIDEOGAME! !REMEMBER!". I wouldn't read too much into it; for all we know she wrote for the better npc's like avela. |

Counter: if I knew I was going to be on camera or a podcast I would jot down some notes precisely because I know that remembering stuff under pressure is hard.
And the question 'what did you work on' is pretty much guaranteed to come up.

Thanks for what you are doing. I can't believe they dont even know what they are looking into/are allowed to say what they are looking into. To be fair, I work in a large corporate environment, and when I'm asked about some aspect of a department project that I'm personally not working on or involved with, I'm going to have to take some time to ask around to see who knows what. I'm never going to have every bit of information right on hand in front of me, and I also can't just say what I think might be the answer but might end up being wrong or inaccurate and then I'm stuck in a bad spot. So, I can understand they might not have an immediate answer for every question. On the flip side, here at work, if we're doing something big or important enough, all of us are going to have a good idea of the general status of a project or what the major bullet points are or whatever, so I'd think the devs could be giving a little more info than they are. Just a guess, but based on my experience in a corporate business environment, I'd say that regardless of what devs may think, they're being significantly restricted by people higher up the corporate ladder in terms of what they can say or promise, which can't be a fun spot to be in right now. |

Sounds like they are putting themselves in a really bad spot with the streams then. Sure they can showcase gameplay as much as they want, but they very restricted about the topics they can talk to it has this certain North Korea vibe. |

Someone upthread asked that. The response was the same: 'they're looking into it'. This annoys me. We had an issue with lobbies in ME3, and the timer was introduced to address it. Why in the blue fuck would it not have been considered here? The same applies to character collision mechanics in DAIMP. Fucking dumb. Been thinking about this. It may be by design. The game menus (suck) are new to a lot of players as are the skill trees. They may have left the timer out of launch so people could acclimate. Or they are fucking dumb. |

I was planning on shitposting in the stream chat today, but I was up late working on a paper and wound up sleeping through it. Probably a better use of my time tbh.

Ask him why we don't have Killstreaks in MEA. I just killed an entire map's worth of enemies with a Sticky Grenade, but was not rewarded with an ingame acknowledgement of my greatness.

Just replying to this to tell you that you are definitely the top scorer of the bsn for the week. Thanks for the questions and the running commentary. I'm traveling today and couldn't watch. If Likes = Topscore then YES I AM! Also you are welcome. If my job continues to be a dumpster fire(*) then I will take a long lunch next week too. (*) In a weird way, my job is a lot like the complaints we make about Bioware / MEA. Software is being released that is shoddy, no clear direction or understanding of what people want, and I bet there is a message board somewhere where people are complaining about my company. The big difference is that my company doesn't have microtransactions. Hmm... I do have a meeting with The Boss on Monday. Maybe this is what I will suggest?  |

Suggest to rearrange the layout randomly each week, tell them that's to keep the users awake and curios, then add microtransaction that disable the layout scrambling. |

You joke but they just redesigned the web page based on what 'someone' in marketing wanted, with NO user research AT ALL. Guaranteed it will confuse people. |

I wouldn't read too much into it; for all we know she wrote for the better npc's like avela. As my two cents, I've heard from some voice actors that it's a fairly common practice in the industry for voice actors to have almost no idea what they're voicing for. They're handed a script, and maybe a picture and/or two sentence description of the character and have to work from that. For instance, I once read an interview with the guy who voices Master Chief in Halo, he didn't know what he had been voicing for until he noticed his son playing the game and recognized his own voice. |

This wasn't the voice actor, this was the writer who wrote the script for MEA. If she doesn't know what she's writing for then seriously W.T.F.

Do you think Billy let her know that everyone hates the writing for the MP characters, especially the krogan engineer, before having her on? It almost feels like he trolled her. I'm imagining him talking to her before the stream like "Hey, don't forget to tell them that you wrote all of those awesome lines for the krogan engineer! They'll love it!" To himself: "Holy shit she's actually gonna do it. This is gonna be hilarious!"
